MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES TO
CONTRIBUTE TO LONG LIFE
Areas not subject to the natural
washing action of rainfall are known as
unwashed areas. In these regions,
dust, dirt and pollutants that would
otherwise be removed by rain, tend
to build up. Regular maintenance and
removal of these contaminants by
cleaning with fresh potable water (in
accordance with local regulations), will
help prevent the formation of localised
areas where premature corrosion might
occur. Accumulations of windborne
salty deposits in seaside localities can
have a particularly aggressive effect on
steelproducts.
For further recommendations on
maintenance procedures, refer to
Technical Bulletin TB-4 Maintenance

ZINCALUMEsteel.
